One of the Greatest Gifts

“I make space for peace, clarity, and purpose to guide my day. I choose grace. I choose me.”

Today, as I bask in the beauty of this 27th day of my birth month—with the sun warming my face, the breeze kissing my skin, and the vibrant blossoms reminding me of life’s divine timing—I sit in immense gratitude.

This birthday, I’m not just celebrating my life. I’m honoring my evolution.

Every breath.

Every tear.

Every moment I chose MySelf, even when it was hard, unfamiliar, or lonely. Especially then.

The Journey of Becoming

This past year has been one of radical stillness, deep healing, and sacred unbecoming. I’ve leaned into releasing what no longer serves—people, patterns, and pain—making space for the woman I AM… and the version of me still BEing born.

I’ve authored books, yes. But more importantly, I’ve rewritten my inner story. The one that told me to be strong, quiet, and small.That story? Returned to sender.

Now, I live audaciously. I move with grace and groundedness. I PAUSE. I realign with Source. I honor my Human Design. I take up space—in my joy, my boundaries, and my divine assignment.

From Brokenness to Blessings

I reflect on the journey from being beautifully broken, after a 22-year career that looked picture-perfect on the outside, to losing almost everything except my faith and my will to heal.

Today, I don’t race from fear. My heart races from a reverent awe for the woman I’ve become.

I know the feeling now. I know the tools, the practices, the sacred modalities that hold me moment to moment.

I have weathered the loss of the bare necessities… and now, I hold the gifts of restoration with open, grateful hands. Each day, I honor my healing—not just with words, but with actions. With how I nurture my energy, how I love my family, and how I honor the quiet spaces within.

I Give Myself My Flowers

Today, I give myself my flowers:

🌹 For the audacity to heal.

🌹 For the humility to stay.

🌹 For the courage to love, even through the growing pains.

🌹 For honoring my soul’s call to evolve, expand, and embody.

Cheers to 51...

✨ A year of Deeper Faith.

✨ A year of Sacred Patience.

✨ A year of Trusting God’s Perfect Plan.

✨ A Year of Living Audaciously—By Divine Design.

Because if my life has taught me anything, it’s this:

You don’t have to shrink to BE loved.

You don’t have to suffer to BE seen.

You don’t have to wait to BE whole.

BE Her Now.

The You that’s been whispering from within.

Reflection Prompt:

What part of your BEing is ready to be born this season?

💛Affirmation:

"I give myself permission to evolve, expand, and embody my Highest Self."

Reiki Practice: “Sacred Self-Reclamation

Purpose: To honor your evolution, connect with your Highest Self, and give yourself permission to BE who you are BEcoming.

What You’ll Need:

• A quiet space (preferably near natural light or outdoors if possible)

• A journal & pen

• Optional: Essential oils (like frankincense, lavender, or rose), soft background music

  
  

Steps

1. Prepare Your Sacred Space

• Sit comfortably, either cross-legged or feet flat on the floor.

• Place one hand over your heart, the other over your belly

  (Solar Plexus and Sacral Chakra connection).

• Close your eyes gently.

  
  

2. Invoke Reiki Energy

• Silently or aloud, set the intention:

  “I call forth the Healing Light of Reiki. I allow it to flow through me, to me, and for me.”

  
  

• Visualize a gentle golden-white light entering the crown of your head, flowing down your spine, wrapping you in a cocoon of healing energy.

  
  

3. Affirm & Align

As the Reiki energy flows, repeat softly:

“I am safe to evolve.”

“I am worthy of wholeness.”

“I give myself permission to embody my Highest Self.”

Feel each word activate within your energy field.

Place Your Hands Over Each Chakra

(1-2 minutes at each center, following your intuition.)

“I trust Divine Timing.”

Third Eye:

“I see myself clearly.”

Throat:

“I speak my truth with love.”

Heart:

“I am worthy of unconditional love—starting with myself.”

Solar Plexus:

“I honor my power and my purpose.”

Sacral:

“I create space for joy, creativity, and softness.”

Root:

“I am grounded. I am safe. I belong here.”

*Allow Reiki to flow freely wherever it is most needed.

5. Close with a Sacred Breath

Inhale deeply through the nose:

Receive Divine Love.

Exhale slowly through the mouth:

Release all resistance.

Place your hands in Gassho (prayer position) at your heart center and whisper:

Thank you.

I am Evolved.

I am Evolving.

I am Living Audaciously - By Divine Design.

When ready, gently open your eyes and take whatever comes up for you to your journal.

It is Done!
